How to support me financially.

This was something that I actually didn't want to post on here because I don't want anybody to feel pressured into supporting me financially. I only want you to if you feel led to, but since I've had a number of people ask me how they can support me financially, I figured this was the best way to let people know.

As I mentioned in my letter, the DTS will cost $7600 NZD (Approx. $5700 CAD), $4200 (~$3100 CAD) of which is due when I arrive in New Zealand in September, the other $3400 (~$2600) is due halfway through the lecture phase, so approximately mid October. Also, if I attend the School of Signs and Wonders at the end of February, 2011, it will cost $3600 NZD (~$2000 CAD) for the lecture phase and another $2000 NZD (~$1500 CAD) plus travel expenses for the outreach.

If you feel led to support me financially, the easiest way would be to give me a cheque before I leave. Cheques should be made payable to YWAM Pursuits with my name in the memo space. If you would like to support me for the outreach phase or the School of Signs and Wonders instead of (or as well as) for the initial lecture phase, the cheques must be postdated because international cheques become out of date after 3 months.

Before I leave, cheques can either be given to me or my parents personally, or sent to me at:

48 Tweed Cres

London, Ontario

N5X1Z4

After I leave, you can send cheques directly to the base in New Zealand, but please keep in mind that it can take about 2-3 weeks for them to get there. The base's address is:

Matt Stelpstra

c/- YWAM pursuits Ministries

“Crystal Springs”

287 Springs Road

RD1

Matamata 3271

New Zealand

Also, as I mentioned in my letter, unfortunately tax receipts are not available for Canadian residents, they are available for US residents though.

I also have to cover all of my personal expenses while I am gone, so if you would like to help with that as well, then you can either give a cheque made out to me or cash either to me or my parents. They will have access to my bank account while I'm gone, so if you would like to give after I'm gone as well, you can give it to them and I will get it. I know that some people may not be as comfortable supporting me this way, but I can assure you that I will use all support faithfully.

Once again, please do not feel obligated to support me financially, I need your prayer support first and foremost, but if you feel led to, then thank you.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

God bless.
